So, this is the second video that I’ve been planning on making for a while but was particularly challenging to execute. if you’ve seen the video, hopefully it’s clear why that would be (mostly because of what I had to do in between takes). That said, it was a lot of fun, although a little terrifying to actually start the “right” part.

The other motivation for this is that I really do like doing dialogue, but it’s hard to find other people to work with. So I do the split screen stuff. I have contemplated just doing it with cuts instead of split screen as it would make it so much easier with the timing. (I find it very hard to act in response to something pre-recorded or imagined in my head.) But I thought this idea worked better if you could see “both” people at the same time.

Tracy and Dyson are out of town visiting the in-laws, which means I have seemingly inordinate amounts of free time. So naturally, I had to make this silly video.

I had the idea for this one a while ago, but it’s hard to make videos like this when there’s a kid around the house because it takes me so long to do. Even though the video is only a minute and a half, it took about three hours to put together what with the writing, setting up, rehearsing, filming, and editing.

With the wife and kid out of town, I feel like it’s a rare opportunity to get a bunch of stuff done that would be hard to do otherwise. So I’ve got a bunch of projects planned. On the other hand, I think maybe I ought to just relax and enjoy the rest. So I’m not sure how much I’ll actually get done. After all, that new season of Archer on Netflix isn’t going to watch itself.
